Alna selectmen said Wednesday night, April 21, they were holding off on addressing two issues residents have been asking about: Whether or not the Head Tide Dam site complies with permits; and recent voter challenges’ possible tie to building codes. Third Selectman Charles Culbertson said Maine Municipal Association recommended selectmen do nothing until they have a lawyer.
The board is working to pick a firm from about seven candidates, he said.
“Our highest priority is to do this very quickly . We’re doing our due diligence to interview (candidates) and try to come up with a decision as soon as we can,” likely within a week or two, Culbertson said in the Zoom meeting.

After Alna’s appeals board decided a series of appeals March 4 on resident Jeff Spinney’s shoreland project, members said the matter will go back to the planning board that approved Spinney’s request.
“Now that the majority of the appeals board feels the boat ramp is a structure, doesn’t it now get remanded to the planning board,” appeals board secretary Mary Bowers asked.
“It does,” appeals board chair Alex Pugh said. Bowers had dissented on the structure issue. She described the project off Golden Ridge Road as earthwork for soil stabilization and erosion control.
